You woke me up for THIS??

Seriously, though, I'm on about a half a dozen ping lists, and even though I don't respond to the majority, I want to stay on all of them. Just because I don't respond doesn't mean I don't read them.

I have a pong list.

What do you call that recipe on your profile????

[MeekOneGOP]

Please PING ME! (I trust your judgment.)

BIG Dittos BUMP back atcha! I may not always peruse all articles, but I want the opportunity in any case! Thanks!

I don't have a ping list, but I do sometimes ping various people to threads I think they might find interesting. Each one of my "pings" which list various people are different and created only at that time.

It's not the same thing to see what I'm talking about click on my name to my profile then find in forum. Check the threads I was pinged to by davidosborne and count the number of times per thread. You will notice that the pings are from a ping list. That means a bunch of us are being pinged several times to the same thread.

I asked the freeper several times to remove my name from it and the request was ignored. This is actually spamming. Even his continious post of mail me to be removed remind me of e-mail spammers who say click here to be removed from this list. A simple post saying please remove me from your list should be enough. It is not my responsibility to keep reminding him. If he want's a ping list it's his responsibility to insure it doesn't become a problem for others.

Abuse Of Ping List

Please use this as your opportunity to request OFF my ping list. I don't ping to annoy, only to bring articles that I think are informative, interesting or humorous, etc. You will NOT hurt my feelings to want OFF my list. Thanks! :o) Richard Meek
(((PING))))))
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my ping list!. . .don't be shy.

To ping, or not to ping. THAT is the question.

Cheers, CC :)

I don't mind being on your ping list; if I do, I'll let you know.

I try to check out most articles you ping me to, but it's impossible to get into the discussion and compose a thoughtful reply for even a fraction of them. You know the deal.

Here is good one

[pollyshy]

Good morning! Something to take your mind off those other two topics! ;)

[RottiBiz]

I very much appreciate your pings.

I only FReep in the early mornings and would otherwise miss many interesting articles. Thank you so much.

DITTO!

I noticed this as well, and it's annoying as hell.

When I go through my self search for reference, I have to rummage through 50 gazillion pings to subjects I could give 2 craps about.

There are a handful of posters that I enjoy being on their ping lists (the vets and second amendment posters come to mind) but most are from people I don't even know.

It took me three requests to get off that blockhead Osborne's list.
